Ask ten people what they think about branding and personal brand, and you are likely to get ten different opinions on the subject. It’s an ongoing discussion, and one that probably won’t have a definitive answer. Regardless of your position on the matter, one can not ignore that brand, personal or not, does exist. What we do with it and how we define it is up to us.
We reached out to our community and asked some of the local entrepreneurs and professionals their take.
Up first, Mr. Hubert Sawyers III. A local entrepreneur, Hubert shares how one’s personal brand stems from one’s authenticity. If those two elements are in sync, then it is very hard to deny one’s successful brand.
Hubert will be attending BrandCampU 2010, and can be found sharing his passion for music and business on Twitter. He is the founder of SorSaw Enterprises, co-founder of iDetroit, and blogs at Frying in Vein.
